We, the ZADA elders, have been members of, and attending functions including our own coffee mornings at Hibbert Community Centre for many years now. All voluntary groups that use the centre raise their own funds for all their various youth and community activities. The only thing that we have relied on from Bolton Council since 1997 is our core costs which go towards heating, lighting and insurance costs. In late 2016, Bolton Council decided that it would stop funding these basic costs for our thriving community centre based in one of the most deprived areas in Britain. As a result, it is making it harder for our elderly members to attend as frequently as they did given how the cold disproportionately affects the elderly and taking away a vital lifeline to challenge loneliness. Outside of summer, gloves and hats have had to be worn and this makes it harder to participate for so many.

Because there are thousands of people in leasehold properties who cannot get out and are stuck with these villains. I am currently having this very problem. A friend has come to the rescue so I am getting into a freehold property. It is not always an option to go for the right to manage especially if the other lessees do not want to get involved or sub-let

There is clear evidence that pesticides (such as the herbicide glyphosate) used for pest and weed control across Mole Valley District are causing declines in biodiversity and are harmful to human health, especially children. Our children need to be able to play safely in the parks of Mole Valley face down on the ground without fear of exposure to glyphosate and other potentially harmful chemicals. But it is not just children. Everybody who lives, works, plays, visits, or walks their dog anywhere in this beautiful district should have the right to enjoy the area without the fear of coming into contact with unnecessary, toxic chemicals. Glyphosate alone is linked to cancers, infertility, birth defects, and neurological disease. The World Health Organisation has publicly stated that glyphosate ‘probably’ causes cancer. However there are 40 different types of pesticide that can be and are used in and around towns and cities in the UK. Progressive cities such as Paris, Toronto - and recently Brighton - have already voted to end the use of toxic chemicals in all public spaces. If they can do it, so can Mole Valley District! Effective alternatives for weed control already exist which are not harmful to people, pets, or the environment. Furthermore, the use of non-toxic alternatives will encourage greater local biodiversity - and give us all the pleasure of seeing more bees buzzing, butterflies fluttering, and birds singing! The increase in pesticide use since the 1970s has seen farmland bird populations decline by over 50% and catastrophic declines for insects such as several butterfly and bumblebee species (of up to 70% for some species). The loss of bumblebees and other pollinators has knock-on effects for growing food, as 75% of crops are pollinated by wild insects. So why risk the health of our children, ourselves, and the environment when there is another way? Let us employ non harmful ways of dealing with – or living with- those things that toxic chemicals are used to kill. These products are already available. We can start this process in our local district, and in Mole Valley. PS - Get informed!

These businesses have been trading in the area, employing local people and providing services to the community for decades. The businesses include DW Wood who have been machining wood at its site in Tottenham High Road since 1948, and North London's famous Chick King opposite Tottenham Hotspur football ground since 1981. The Peacock Industrial Estate established since 1986 , home to many businesses where several hundred people are employed in jobs covering skills such as specialist glazers , antique restorers , joinery shops, motor mechanics & a cake factory , to name a few trades and professions.In addition , the demolition plans threaten a NHS Doctors Surgery and Coombes Croft Library . These businesses are the pillar of the local business community and must not be driven out by demolition. They must be retained as part of the future of Tottenham. Haringey Council's proposals will drive these businesses out of the area, negatively affecting the lives of the owners and the people employed.

Millions of retired people rely on their pension payments keeping pace with inflation.A leading firm of actuaries has calculated that this would result in a 30% drop in income over the average period these payments are paid. Apart from anything else this would dramatically reduce the spending power of the retired, badly effecting the economy, and create a "pensions apartheid". It is totally unacceptable for people to be denied what they are legally entitled too under the terms of their employment/retirement.

Shaw was crying on the phone. It's not acceptable to see a 6ft odd 23 stone man cry over a pie. True injustice here - worse than the disallowed Ajax goal the other night. Max bet was only a £5 so the gambling commission need to do one. No club is bigger than the man. In all seriousness everyones had a laugh over past few weeks thanks to Wayne and he doesn't deserve to lose the job with the club he loves over a trivial matter.

The people using these facilities are friends and family! With the amount of housing being put in surrounding the town, this problem can only get worse and our parents and grandparents will be the ones to suffer. They are some of the most vulnerable in our society and they deserve the best care and facilities that we are able to provide. The care provided by Eskgreen and The Hollies is second to none but they provide that care, in spite of the chronic under investment made by our council and government.

It is important because many life changing decisions, for example the EU referendum, are determined by vote and will affect young people for decades to come, however, they do not get a voice in these matters. It is therefore necessary in order to achieve a balanced and equal society to lower the voting age to 16 and give young people a chance to have a say in the choices that will affect their future.

Fairness in Society.

Because too many cars come zooming down the road outside the school and around the other school entrances one day there will be a fatality. There has already been several near misses and a few incidents involving children who required hospital treatment after traffic accidents.

The village of Thornton Hough was rebuilt by Lord Leverhulme to be a model village, a working village and a balanced village. This proposal will put a village which already has twice the average amount of over 65's and matches the record town of Christchurch presently but will move our village into an unknown and unbalanced level of over 65's. It is also a huge wasted opportunity to involve us in a community led development plan which could deliver extra space for school, more houses for carers, social housing, shared equity, starter homes and family homes to help rebalance village or other ideas.

These libraries provide a quiet place for people to study and work in peace and safety, and the books on the shelves provide a vital lifeline of education to many children across the city region. Without them, many will lose a vital part of their everyday lives!
